Josée Miller was born in 1958 in Victoriaville, Quebec. Her mother, Aline Tremblay, was the youngest of a family of twelve, originally from Baie-Saint-Paul. Her father, Georges Miller, bought paintings by artists such as René Richard and Cosgrove when Josée was a child. She grew up surrounded by the energy of these Quebec painters.

When, at the age of ten, she asked her father for an oil painting kit and an easel as a gift, he was not surprised and it was then that the joy of creation gave birth to this passion.

After a DEC in health sciences, she reoriented herself to a DEC in design and interior design in 1982. She worked for the Galerie du Meuble and, later, for a private office in Quebec City. She worked as a freelance designer until 1995.

Starting in 1996, she devoted herself to painting full-time. Soon, sketches and drafts transformed into creations on canvas. Her niche became defined, and her colors burst forth. Her world is intended to be intimate and whimsical. Colors, shapes, and details abound, creating an inviting and joyful atmosphere. In addition, her knowledge of architecture pairs well with her sense of observation. She often finds inspiration during family walks and excursions with other painters.

In 1997, she began exhibiting in galleries. Since then, several of her works have made their way into private and public collections in Canada, the United States, and Europe. With numerous solo exhibitions throughout Quebec, Josée Miller has carved out a prominent place for herself in the Canadian art market.
